Hide analysis

Although the rights of native peoples of Canada have yet to be comprehensively defined in Canadian law, most native Canadians assert that their rights include the right not only to govern themselves and their land, but also to exercise ownership rights over movable cultural property—artifacts ranging from domestic implements to ceremonial costumes. ███

Native Canadians' perspective · Natives have right to own movable cultural property

Example: Domestic implements, ceremonial costumes.

Current law · Statute and common law puts ownership of movable property with current owners, not Native Canadians

Recent litigation is questioning this ownership.

Basis of current ownership rules · Private property can be owned by individuals or groups functioning as individuals

Encourages right of individual owners to use property as they see fit.

New perspective in litigation · Collective ownership

Each member of a community has an equal say regarding use of the community's resources.

Problem for new perspective · Legal documents to support property ownership; Native Canadians usually don't have these, but museums do

Solution · Courts will become more aware that collective property exists

This will lead to recognition that Native Canadians should own their movable cultural property.
